Good to know

  • Created in the United States in the early 2000s from Sphynx and Munchkin lines.
  • Both parent traits are debated by welfare bodies, and some registries refuse the breed.
  • Warm to the touch, like all hairless cats — the skin has no coat over it.

Who it suits

Experienced owners prepared for weekly bathing, a warm home and a vet who knows the breed.

Care

Bathe weekly to keep skin oils down, keep it warm and out of direct sun, and watch the back and joints.

History of the breed

Created in the United States in 2005 by crossing a Sphynx with a Munchkin. The name is Italian for baby. Several major registries decline to recognise it, and welfare organisations question the combination of two mutations in one cat.
